It seems that many users using MT on yahoo small business hosting are being screwed.

You can load the main index page, but not the admin pages, dashboard, or use the comment system. All attempts lead to 500 server errors. Yahoo says it's not them, MT says its not them...

Their solution is to reset the blog which means all data is lost.

The problem began yesterday and continue through today.

These are just a few sites that have the same problem...

lonestarstruck.com
metsmerizedonline.com
yukonreview.net

Anyone have any ideas before we ditch everything and start all over???

FYI...

I just got a call from one of the newspapers in Oklahoma that is having the same problem, and they spoke with WordPress who looked at his site and told him that they can switch him over and save all his posts and comments.

I will look into this and update for those of you who may be having the same issue.

My own site here in New York is completely useless now, it's just dead in the water.

Without seeing the server logs it is difficult to say.

The problem seems to be with fast cgi (.fcgi files) normal cgi seems to work. I modified a local copy of http://metsmerizedonline.com/blog/2008/05/...ryan_conti.html so that it used mt-comments.cgi and the comment went through.
